Senator Hiscock's speech at the unwilling
of the monument erected in Syracuse by the
Grand Army Of the Republic will be sure TO
attract wide attention. An abstract of 1t will
be found on our second page.
The Rapid Transit Commissioners in their
report seem to have left open the question
of encroaching on Battery Park. They say
that this is necessary if a continuous connec
ton between the east and west sides is to be
provided, but that if this route, '"on re-
view of all the advantages and all tho objec-
tions," is disapproved, they have no desire
that it should be retained" A continuous ride
for five cents over all parts of the elevated
system would no doubt be popular thing but
New York doesn't want this badly enough to be
willing to surrender an inch Of the Battery.
London probably will not get over talking
alb out the Jubilee for many day. 1t certainly
was striking success, without hitch or draw
back or accident Some of the features not
dwet on by our London correspondent on
Tuesday-especially the evening Examinations
and the children's festival--are mentioned at
length in a cable letter this morning. graf
living outcome of the affair is that the central
figure of the whole grand display-Queen
Victoria-has not suffered in health from the
great strain and excitement to which she has
been subjcctcd.
What is pronounced on high authority an
undoubtcd case of hydrophobia has just Oc-
CURED in Haverstraw. The victim was bitten
a month ago by an old dog, which soon after
died. An autopsy was made, but no evidence
that the dog was rabid was obtained his death
was ascribed to epilepsy. The matter was al
most. forgotten when the symptoms of hydro
phobia showed themselves early this week.
1t was then too late for relief and the man
died in great agony. Some physicians are
still extremely sccptical as to the existence of
such disease as hydrophobia, but case like
The above is difficult to explain on any other
hypothesis.
Young Speights. who killed keeper in the
House of Refuge, appears to bc particularly
hard case. He was sent to that institution
because he was "ugly, unruly and uncontroll-
able,r and his few weeks there wrought little
change in him. Several of the inmates formed
a plot to escape, and to Speights was given the
task of knocking down the keeper and securing
his keys. The boy not only knocked him
down, but struck such savage blows that the
man is dead. Such instances of youthful de
pravity are rare. That Speights was uncon-
trollable at home was probably due to lack
of flrmncss in parental discipline The bow NAV
escape severe penalty, but his life is blghted.
That the MayAower is better boat than the
Galatea was put beyond dispute last fall There
were those however, who insisted that this
was in part because the English yacht did not
have any real cutter weather to sail in. The
cutter advocates ought to be satisfied with the
Exhibition Off Marblehead Yesterday. 1t Ger
tatnly was cutter weather, if any weather can
be. Yet the Yankee sloop left Lieutenant
